CTC Mightyboard Standoff

thingiverse

I decided to create a Mightyboard Standoff for my CTC printer to make removing the motherboard easier since I'm a self-proclaimed tinkerer who has already removed it once to install the Z axis rail mounts and again to install the missing Mosfet to control a PLA fan, with another removal pending to install the parts for the missing LED Strip controller. To avoid future headaches, I created two versions of the standoff that can be printed separately. The "Original bolts" version has 4mm thru-holes designed for use with standard mounting hardware, while the "threaded" version is intended to screw M3-12mm screws from the top and M3-10mm screws from the bottom. By taking advantage of this project, I also managed to relocate my wiring harness underneath the mightyboard controller, resulting in a cleaner overall appearance under my printer. To ensure seamless re-assembly, make sure you label all connections before removing them. Print Settings: Printer - CTC Dual; Rafts - No; Supports - No; Resolution - .3mm; Infill - 50%; Notes - Printing this part doesn't require special settings since it operates at low temperatures, but keep in mind that ABS requires a 1.7% scale increase to prevent misalignment. If printing the "threaded" version, use 3 or 4 shells to provide adequate grip for screw threads.
